About
Malga Quarazza sits at 1,604m on the Asiago Plateau in the Veneto Alps, northeastern Italy. Reach it from Asiago town via the hiking trail that climbs through beech forests and alpine meadows—roughly 1.5 hours on foot. The hut lies on well-marked routes connecting the plateau's ridge walks and mountain bike trails, making it a natural stop for day hikes or longer traverses across the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni.
The hut operates as a simple mountain refuge with basic accommodation for around 20 people in shared dormitories. Meals focus on regional mountain food: hearty soups, polenta, local cheeses, and game when in season. The kitchen provides hot drinks and packed lunches for early starts. Basic facilities include running water and pit toilets; there's no shower. The hut stays open year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and demand.
Book directly by phone or email at least 2-3 weeks ahead, especially for weekends and July-August. The hut fills quickly during summer vacation season and autumn weekends when day-trippers use it as a lunch stop. Arrive with cash—card payments are unreliable in this remote location.
